Oh my…the pink kitchen story is priceless. I was rolling!! Thanks for sharing your “mom moment” and thanks for the laughs.
Oh and a question for you…fashion related…what do you think of the screen print T’s that are all over the place now? I was at Old Navy and some were only $5. The college kids I minister to wear them, but do they work for a 32 year old mom of two? I’m a fashion novice. Thanks for your thoughts.

I’m a New England girl (the only other place I’ve lived is Chicago and near Chicago), and I never really thought I cared for the southern accent much. (Not that I had any high horse to look down from; the New England accent is just strange, and defies laws of basic logic in terms of pronunciation.) Anyway, I’ve realized that my problem was that I’d never met ladies like you before, because I think your voices are just sweet and lyrical. I keep finding myself turning on your latest podcast when I want something to listen to…you two always make me smile and laugh, and it’s fun to eavesdrop on such lighthearted, witty conversation. Thanks for giving me a new appreciation for a sound that’s different than what I’m used to hearing. I think it’s lovely.

You guys are stinking hilarious! The part about the pink kitchen had me cracking up!
I posted a question last time, but I will ask my question(s) again.
How long did you have your blog before it started to take off and you were “famous” in the blog world? Do you know how it happened? What advice do you have to other bloggers about how to get your name out there?
Thanks! Love listening to you guys!

That’s the funniest one yet! The pink kitchen thing cracked me up as well.

Oh, and the Halloween thing? I think I might hyperventilate if my child ever wanted to wear a character costume that was bought at a store! They might as well bring back those plastic aprons with the characters logos on them and the ugly plastic masks that they sold when we were kids. My son mentioned wanting to be Spiderman this year but I pretended I didn’t hear him and continued talking about how he should go as Leo from the Little Einsteins, but NOT in a costume bought at the Disney store! I feel your parental pain.

You girls crack me up! I’m afraid I am kind of like you with the whole Halloween thing for my son. It’s embarrassing to admit that I put a little too much thought and effort into his costume because I want it to be the cutest. We’ll have the pictures forever, right? That’s what I tell myself.

Melanie’s latest book

Who is Melanie?

My name is Melanie and, in some strange twist of fate, I’m also known as Big Mama because I started this blog in July of 2006 when my daughter, Caroline, was not quite three years old and I was in the process of convincing her that BIG girls use the potty and BIG girls don’t have pacifiers, thus she thought BIG was the highest compliment in the land and began referring to me as BIG MAMA.
